I’ve been to one or two in the US as a part of the audience.
While it is quite impressive to see someone recovering from a vertical manoeuvre down in the weeds, firstly it’s only the people at the front who can see it. Secondly, it’s not so bad someone easing it down to that height when the recovery is sorted somewhat earlier. However, I wince when I see someone doing it with a hard pull. I’ve seen it several times.
